Precautions while using ATM Machines
Point of Sale Security
Do not allow a cashier or anyone else to enter your PIN for you. Block anyone else from viewing your PIN when using a POS terminal. Review the receipt before leaving. If you request cash back, immediately put it away before leaving. If using a POS terminal outside such as a gas station, be observant of your surroundings before making the transaction. If someone appears suspicious, leave and go to another POS terminal. If it is late night, take another person with you when using an outdoor POS terminal. If you feel you have been followed after making a POS transaction, drive to a crowded well lit area, fire station, sheriff or police department.Flash your lights and blow your horn to bring attention to you. If you are involved in a robbery situation while using your card, do not resist.
